S T A L K E R: Call of Pripyat - ( 2022 ) Video #211: "One Hit" Failures
1I decided to make the length of recorded time shorter, after starting out with the expected conversation with Colonel Kovalsky, by making a Manual Save right after I am alone in the apartment. This way I can make repeated tries from that point and condense more tries into the same video. As this was made 24 hours or so later after my three previous videos I posted, I seem to be really off my Game tonight when I did these.
The first thing I noticed was that my first RPG-7 round went too low. This allowed Serbin and Jackal to survive a few times and the other thing was that the Mercenaries were more organized in their defense and managed to blast me with their RPG-7s too. This is bad for looting purposes as I don't get to recover any OG-7V. I was disappointed in my first try I didn't even go down to count the bodies. The second try I went down and found 7 bodies and I immediately noticed some different weapons compared to my Game from the day before. I was seeing specific Mercenaries no longer carrying the IL-86 and AK-74 but now carrying a Chaser-13 and Eliminator. This doesn't mean anything other than since I shutdown my Game and Computer from yesterday, when I loaded a new Game today, it produced some random variables in the weapons carried. I'm still seeing the Ecologist Mercs carry TRs-301s, Jackal's dual RPG-7s guards and the rest carrying GP-37s.
The third time I got 7 dead again and also the repeat in being shot at with the RPG-7s. To compensate for my first RPG-7 round going too low, I'm going too high in the third try. Like I said my Game ( me ) is just off tonight. Probably because it was my first day back to my IRL job and I just got off work when I'm making these additional attempts.
The fourth try was an absolute failure. Sure, I killed 7 again but I managed to do so poorly that Serbin escaped, and Jackal and the other Exoskeleton Mercenary escaped. This is the first time I killed all the lesser people, Jackal's five men in Merc jumpsuits and Serbin's two Ecologist suited sidekicks. So even though that was a total failure for both leaders escaping, it was nice to kill all the others for a change. Still not sure what mutant sighted me when I crossed the plaza but since I was shooting the rodents, it was probably a newly spawned Bloodsucker to replace them.
As things stand, my 8 kills Game from yesterday is still my best effort and will be the Game I continue playing from if I cannot do better.
